W. Thornton Elected To Board Of Governors At Mexico City Utah Lionism received a distinct honor at the international interna-tional convention in Mexico City with the elevation of J. W. Thornton, Provo, governor govern-or of the Utah district No. 28 during the past year, to a place on the board of governors govern-ors of the international organization. organiza-tion. The election of a man from the intermountain west on a national service organization board is a rare occurrence, and comes as a tribute, not only to Mr. Thornton for his able administration, but to all Lions clubs of the district. Seven Members The national board is composed of seven members, chosen at each international convention from among the 63 district governors. The decision to work for the election of Mr. Thornton to the high position was made at the district convention in Richfield a few weeks ago. D. A. Skeen, Salt Lake City attorney and chairman of the district safety committee, was selected to present his name to the convention. Mr. Thornton's election at the international convention is due in a large measure to the fine growth made in Lionism during the past year, an increase of four new clubs, with a gain in membership mem-bership from 50 to 1300. The Utah, district led the entire organ-iation organ-iation in percentage ot member ship increase. Phenomenal Rise-Mr. Rise-Mr. Thornton's rise in Lionism has been phenomenal, and stands unparalleled in service club work. Three years ago there was no Lions club in Provo. Approached by Leo Hansen of Lehi, then district dis-trict governor, Mr. Thornton became be-came interested in ' Lions club work, took the lead in starting a club here, and was elected as the first president. The club made rapid growth in membership, and almost at once took rank as one of the largest and most active clubs in the district. Mr. Thornton's activity in organizing or-ganizing the club and recruiting members gained for him the honor of "master key man," the first in the district to gain this recognition. recogni-tion. He was elected district governor gov-ernor at the convention held in Idaho Falls in 1934, and served with credit, leading the Lions club in his district to greater records and a wider sphere of service for their communities.

Nazi Drive On Catholics, Jews Gathers Fury Reports of Atrocities Come From All Parts of Nazi Reich. BERLIN, July 25 U.HV The Nazi drive against Jews, Catholics and war veterans went forward unabated today, with instances piling up in- all sections of Germany. Ger-many. A cross-section of events is given in dispatches from the following fol-lowing cities: Mecklenburg political police disbanded three steel helmet organizations or-ganizations m this district, confiscated con-fiscated ther funds and forbade them to wear uniforms. Koenigsberg police announced that a Jewish merchant, Kowal-ski, Kowal-ski, with his Jewish friend Hirsh-berg Hirsh-berg and a former communist named Zander had been taken into in-to custody after the smashing of the windows of Kowalsski's shop by unidentified persons. The morning after the windows were broken, Zander was alleged to have remarked, "this is Germ&h culture." Police there claimed it was "likely" Zander had smashed smash-ed the windows at the merchants own request, to discredit Hitlerite organizations. Heilsberg secret police closed the premises of Catholic youth organizations in the bishop's palace because four black, red and gold flags were found there. The black, red and gold colors of the Weimar republic used to be used by Catholic and nationalist youth organizations as an emblem of the movement for a greater Germany embracing the Reich and Austria. Osnabrueck The prefect in a statement sharply condemned part of the Catholic and protestant clergy for refusing to hoist the swastika flag on churches on national na-tional holidays. He announced that in future, coercion would be used to assure that all churches are decorated on Nazi state festivals. Duisburg The burgomaster ordered or-dered all city officials to resign immediately from religious organizations organ-izations of civil servants and also to take ther children out of the confessional youth organizations, declaring, "the state is entitled to demand that its employes give the state what is due to it."
